Our last ethno banger is out! I didn't love this at the time but enjoy it more now and thought it could win here!Carina Dahl and AxG were 2nd while Gwen had another 3rd place with Marco Guazzone
Sirusho almost won again recently but then had a voting collapse alas.

Despite removing her video from YT :O Faouzia finishes top 3. This is one of my favs of mine so I'm glad it's my highest!
Maybe Faouzia is about to launch with a new label or something and provide new fab songs for Morocco! She did try and emulate the win already but to no avail.
As already referenced Helena Paparizou came 2nd. Somehow, I was also 3rd with Myrath.
Soooo we come down to yoshi vs 21st, Norway vs UK, Sigrid vs Clare Maguire. Who has won??

Sooo Sigrid is our runner-up, despite being the much more recent winner. Well contested, yoshi!
Sigrid will probably continue to dominate for the time being as she's very ~in~ right now.
The last hope of Montenegro, Enisa was 2nd while Miss Li and Yugi were 3rd.
And finally...

Despite being from one of the very early contests, despite the player not voting, despite getting a 1 lol, Clare Maguire dominated with 9 12s and 6 points clear of Sigrid.
This song is such a throwback to me and reminds me of when I was playing X Factor games when was still at uni
Clare hasn't created anything near as epic as this and has mellowed a lot, unfortunately!
Congrats to 21stCB for winning! Thanks for voting everyone! That's it!

Great song, I don't know why I only gave it 8 here, listening to it again I should have given it 12. It hasn't dated it all and there's a disappointing lack of stuffed swans in DSFE music videos these days. A classic winner.

10th Dua Lipa - Hotter Than HellContest: 78My Ranking: 13thComments: Whoops, I definitely undermarked that in the poll. I like Hotter Than Hell a lot (obviously, it's by the queen Dua Lipa) but it's not one of my favourites by her. That being said it's still a bop and a fantastic winner.

9th Emerentia - Silver BulletContest: 51My Ranking: 17thComments: I think I actually prefer this to 'Wasting Water'. That chorus is amazing - but where did Emerentia go!? Wish she'd come back with some more music.

8th Ina Wroldsen, Broiler - Lay It On MeContest: 77My Ranking: 48thComments: So I don't dislike this. In fact, it's actually really good. But it's nowhere near Ina's best so seems crazy that this is her song that ended up winning!

7th Cinnamon Girl - Devil in MeContest: 40My Ranking: 95thComments: More like the devil of DSFE. I knew this would do well because I feel like i'm literally the only person that isn't fussed about it. The song is annoying, sorry.

6th Hurts - Beautiful OnesContest: 93My Ranking: 5thComments: Wow I really thought this was going to win. One of Hurts best songs and the whole meaning & video just make this so perfect. Beautiful song. #Hurts4Eurovision

5th Hozier - Take Me To ChurchContest: 46My Ranking: 2ndComments: My favourite own-winner and one of my favourite ever winners and in fact favourite ever songs. This was a great find a year before it charted and still this song is just really special to me with the meaning behind the lyrics. Love it.

4th Sirusho - PreGomeshContest: 33My Ranking: 4thComments: Sirusho's best. This is basically exactly what you need in an ethno banger. Stunning. Also this got released like a few weeks after I sent (and QF flopped) 'I Like It' by Sirusho so i'm still a bit bitter.

3rd Faouzia - Knock on My DoorContest: 94My Ranking: 15thComments: Interesting that this seems to split opinion sometimes. This was a foot tapper with incredible vocals and I'm going to really miss Alex with these marvellous obscure finds of random singers from countries like this. Amazing song.

2nd Sigrid - Don't Kill My VibeContest: 87My Ranking: 9thComments: To date still probably my favourite Sigrid song. What an epic debut, eh?! Going to see her in November with a few familiar faces so I'm very excited for that. Great result for Sigrid!

1st Clare Maguire - The Shield and the SwordContest: 5My Ranking: 8thComments: I'm not overly surprised this won actually. Clare Maguire only really had one good song but when I say good I mean absolutely bloody amazing. At the time this would've been an incredible discovery and a very well deserved winner. Well done 21stCB!

Wow... thank you so much @Alexos for putting all of this together, with arranging the polls, harassing everybody to vote and then all the effort you have put in to delivering these results.
